Hear directly from the people whose voices are calling out "Woman! Life! Freedom!" and "Say Her Name! Mahsa Amini." Saturday October 10, 2022, more than 250 people gathered to span the bridge from Cambridge to Boston. The organizers, and participants, seek both to (1) draw attention to the lack of media coverage by major outlets and (2) express the urgent need for global compassion and action. Iranian authorities have shut down the internet as women, girls, and people in Iran are risking their lives when they speak out. You can help by sharing information on social media, and looking for accurate sources.
